Miles Mikolas did not allow much. Corbin Burnes allowed nothing. The reigning Cy Young Award winner struck out 10 Cardinals in seven scoreless innings to pilot Milwaukee to a 2-0 victory Monday night at American Family Field. The Cardinals slipped two base hits into Burnes’ line but were otherwise overwhelmed by the right-hander. Milwaukee (39-30) inched out to a one-game lead in the division against the Cardinals (38-31) with three games remaining in this series. The other three teams in the NL Central have left these two to tussle all summer for the division crown, and both teams are trying to cover for fraying pitching staffs. The Brewers put a third member of the rotation on the injured list Monday; the Cardinals auditioned another right-hander for the hole they have in the middle innings. And while the thin spots on the pitching staffs could sway the series later, Monday’s opener was a showcase of stalwarts. Through four innings, the two starters had combined to allow two hits. The only runs that came with the starters in the game were from the same swing — a two-run homer in the fifth inning by Tyrone Taylor. Mikolas winced as soon as Taylor connected on his 93 mph sinker and cursed as it carried over the center-field fence. [/QUOTE]
